It's 4am rite now and I've just finish doing the mounting job for photography project. Tomorrow is the submission. I wonder why can't I finish it earlier or else my life would be easier...
This is my Beta first sem, it's very very important for my coming semesters but in this very very important sem I joined my campus 12th CNYE and my post is strongly related to my profession - director of Creativity and Design division. It sounds like .. director.. not a big pose or maybe for somebody it's an easy task. For me it's my first time joining such events so I've got to learn faster and more efficiency compared to others. I worried if I will become the stumbling block among the committees.
1 more thing I worried alot is my own assignments. There's one sentence to describe, NEVER ENDING WORKLOAD! What make thing worse is that I'm kinda lazy fellow and I do work last minutes. OMG... this time...
Another friend of mine told me, I have to search for a balance between both- my academic and event. Academic is my future and I have responsibility towards the committees.
So why would I join the event? I do not really know the answer but one thing for sure is that I really have fun with you guys and I love it. I wish we could make this a success and leave a sweet memories within us.
Good luck everyone! Gambateh!

Well...my very first assignment in Beta year. Previous semester I've learnt how to use flash, it's a long story. Now this is another long story. 3D max, I'm dealing with 3D now. Wow...sounds exciting but the process...OMG..."convert to editable poly", "extrude", "bevel"...the process took me YEARs!!! Btw I managed to get in done before the submission day.



It's not very well rendered if you look closer. The keypad is abit "square-ish" compared to the actual N80. The keypad is actually round-cornered but due to the limited skill and time I could only managed to do this. T.T
I myself is not that satisfy with the work. BTW it's another new challenge for me.
がんばってください　！！！

Yeah~ It's Bon Odori again at Panasonic Sports Complex, Shah Alam. Just like last year, there're lots of people (Nihon Jin + Mare-Sia Jin), lots of nice food, nice looking girl with Yukata. Let's see some pictures I've taken.

Well, we all owned a DSRL and now planning to organize a photographyclub in MMU. Will it be? We'll see... lol...

Please visit my Flickr for more photos ^^

Yeah, finally it comes to the end, everything has been submitted and I'm finally free! ^^
So today I am posting these 2 major assignments that took me years and lotz of efforts to finish them.

First one is Design Fundamental...this is quite a tough job for me at first. We need to produce a portfolio based on our chosen topic. I'm nt good in drawing and painting, tat's why it's tough for me. So I came up with this idea, design using photoshop and print it out. It cost me nearly a hundred for this portfolio buy luckily I didn't spend much on the final artwork.


Certain part of the portfolio.


I was drawing my final artwork in my friend's room, charcoal drawing on canvas.


Ready for submission, GO~


Right after submission of DF (Design Fundamental), I went to my bed and sleep. We didn't really sleep due to the last minute work.
The next day, I need to finish another important assignment for Computer Graphics. It's me and my previous group mate, Jia Hoe again. LIMS - our group name. It's another sleepless night. We brainstorm on how to do this assignment and start working at 1am, and the next couple hours we need to present and submit it.

Continue to the previous assignment, this time we need to make a trailer to promote Lat's comic. The theme is "Lat's comic is now alive". We have to combine some other student's animation in assignment2 in our video. I saw a flash on Internet which called "Pencilmation" and I try to achieve something like that. It's an animation where a pencil sketching on a notepad. It's good when I know I could do it and then I proceed the next steps based on the idea.

Yataa~ DONE DONE, everything has been done~
Now I have only a few exam papers and after that I got break! And after that, I am a Beta year student~!!!
Excited~!!>.<

"What the hell is going on in this Earth..."is the first thing came out from my thought when I got my little finger luxated again. Yeah, it's "again" and it's on the right hand this time! I remember just a month before, on 28th March I got my little finger on left hand injured. It was a lovely evening and the weather was great. I was playing basketball with my friend and suddenly, it hurt. I looked at my left hand and OMG ! It's totally out of imagination...the shape of my little finger was .. "twisted" .. It's not a straight finger.. and I can't describe the shape here.

After that my friend brought me to a place and then the "sifu" pulled and straighten my little finger...Gosh! It hurts! Then he wrapped my finger with some own-made traditional herbs and reminded me do not let the finger to get wet. This is where the problems and troubles started. I can use only one hand to bath, wash my face and style my hair... u know... it's a very hard time..

Finally I unwrapped the gauze and I can continue my 'normal' lifestyle..using both of my hands...

After 1 month...now... it's being wrapped again.. right hand...for the same reason again...

T.T speechless . . .

and now... it's balance . . .LOL ?

"Make Lat's comic alive for 'lively' education" is the title of this assignment. We are divided into groups of two and I'm with LJH. Spending few days brainstorming on the idea and planning on how the scenes should go on and two nights without sleeping...Finally we've made it.
And guess what...Our lecturer and tutors are seem to be admired and satisfied with our work. One of them even said "I almost give you perfect marks, I like it!"
Oh my...our hard work has paid off...WAHAHA !!! It's such a relieve when we heard this.

So now a very brief explain about my assignment...
We are given a comic strip by Lat and we have to animate it. LJH is working on the graphic and my part is to animate it.

The coloring job is perfectly done by LJH...and now is my part to animate it. Below is the SS in flash. With my experience of watching cartoon, I've got some idea on how the scene should goes on. It was the hardest part when I need to make Lat walking naturally. It's not an easy job for me. I go through google with the key words 'walk cycle tutorial flash', and found some nice tutorial on doing the walking motion.


Lastly the sound effect is the key element in flash. Without sound, it is just a boring motion graphic...With sound, it's an short animation ! Wow.. nice!!

So... that's what Me and Lim Jia Hoe have done for this assignment... Congratz to everyone: SP, Shen2, Richard, Jun... (applausing...)

ps: We are newbie in flash

It is 3.46 am now and I'm still doing nothing while my roommates are doing their work for consultation with lecturers tomorrow. Dull...I dunno what am I doing. Wasting time surfing the net and get nothing. Oh my... I am extremely being attracted to photography now... and I spend my time looking for tutorial and tips.
